[Top of the scene.]

Evy. There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.

EVELYN: You have not found me. I'm not here for you.

[Gently, puts hand on her shoulder and sits her down.] No, you are going to listen to me this time.

EVELYN: All right, I'll listen. But I don't have to believe you.

That's understandable.

EVELYN: What can a knave understand?

Even a knave can acknowledge a mistake.

EVELYN: But what now? What of your career? Your reputation. Our life together. It's all ruined.

I was foolish to go along with it, I know. But I didn't know it would lead to this. I...

THORN: Talbot! There you are! I've been searching everywhere.

[Rising.] Please continue on your way, sir. Evelyn... no Evy and I have something to discuss.

THORN: But this can't wait. I have news for you!

If you'll pardon me, sir, I'll have no more of your brand of news.

THORN: Yes, well, all right. In simple language, the Council has agreed to name our own Adam Talbot here the official city photographer.

What?

THORN: Yes, well, all right. In simple language, the Council has agreed to name our own Adam Talbot here the official city photographer.
TALBOT: What?
THORN: It's true, and done.

But how? How could they agree to that after Maggie Murphy?

THORN: I have not lost my power of persuasion, young man. People still listen to me no matter what I say.

Still?

THORN: ...but pointed out the courageousness of your subsequent outpouring of honesty as well.

You did?

NORA: It's true, Evy. Adam put an end to the whole charade.

That's what I was going to tell you, Evy.

THORN: I showed the Council one last letter, sent to me by the little-known journal "Gleanings in Bee Culture," under the heading Special Notices in the Line of Gardening.

They wrote to you?

THORN: It also seemes that someone from Loveland answered their inquiries, pointing out that our dear Maggie Murphy was only a trick in photography, meant simply to call attention to Mr. Swan and his taters.
EVELYN: Oh, Adam! You confessed?

I did, but not to that publication. That was actuallly Mr. Swan, I believe.

THORN: But you wrote to the others yourelf, eh, Talbot? Including Scientific American?

I did. I wrote to as many as I could. Almost to as many as you did, Mr. Thorndyke.

EVELYN: But Adam, that must have cost you a fortune in postage.

That's why I'm wearing my old suit. I took the new one back.

THORN: Well, then. It seems I may have indeed underestimated you, Mr. Talbot.

That's possible, Mr. Thorndyke.

THORN: Call me Thorn.

Really?

EVELYN: Adam, you humiliated yourself before the entire world in order to make this right?

No, in order to make us right.

EVELYN: But what about your career - getting your name out there.

Oh, my name is out there, no dbout about that. But all I really need is right here. [Kiss.]
